The Legacy by Melissa Delport

4.0

Mel's storytelling is refreshing, the heroin and narrator is always a strong and confident woman who knows her worth and her beauty. The Legacy series is hard to place, I'd like to say it's a dystopian novel but it doesn't seem to really sum it up, though that in itself seems to be a theme with her books.

It's a skop skit en donder book with a sexy lead and extra sexy back up roles. It's set in post apocolyptic America after a nuclear attack between countries. This ruined United States is taken over by an evil (but fucking sexy) asshole who believes that the "New United States" is best run under a dictatorship. The first book revolves around how the rebels go about trying to bring down the President and all the twists and turns that Mel throws their way.

From cowboys with hot accents and modified genetics to epic romance and feisty teenagers. There's a slight reality to the series that makes you think that the scenario laid out might actually be a possibility. Being her first book you might find the first few chapters a little difficult to really get into but you can tell how her confidence soars from there.

I want to tell you about the whole plot but I don't want to give anything away so just know this: the ending leaves you going "What the fuck?! You're kidding me right?" so make sure you have book 2 handy...
